CNet

Rafe has been covering technology and business since 1988. He started at InfoWorld as a reviews editor. Following that, he launched Corporate Computing magazine, and then moved on to become manager of advanced technologies for ZD Labs. In 1995, he became editor-in-chief of Byte magazine. He joined CNET as editor of CNET.com, shortly after it started in 1997. In 1998 he moved to Red Herring, as editorial director of the Events department. After a year he became editor of Redherring.com and started writing Catch of the Day, a column about startups, which was emailed to over 150,000 subscribers every weekday. After Red Herring folded, he continued to review cutting edge technology, both online and in print, for a Business 2.0 column called What’s Next. Rafe currently writes Rafe’s Radar, a weekly column about startups, for Release 1.0. And he's back again at CNET, as the editor of business buying advice (which includes PCs, software, and services).
